[X] Plan Divide et Impera
-[X] Accept Spurio's offer, and have him and his soldiers simply sneak out of town one night, reducing the forces in the town by a good fifty men.
--[X] Offer him only 6 talents, a tenth of our wealth. He isn't taking the same risk so he doesn't get the same reward.
--[X] If Spurio rejects your offer or doesn't leave, tell the defenders about his offer.
--[X] After Spurio's desertion or rejection of our proposal, offer the town one last chance to surrender and guarantee that everyone with the exception of the ringleaders will be spared. If they don't take you up on your generous offer, the consequences will be most dire. Rome doesn't tolerate defiance twice. If they surrender, enslave them all.
